E3 2009: Konami Announces Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

A new Castlevania game is coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; Parick Stewart on voice detail.

Konami's E3 press conference revealed Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Voiced by none other than Patrick Stewart, the game is being developed by Mercurysteam and will be an open-ended adventure. It looks like Kojima Productions is somehow involved, too.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is set to hit the streets in 2010. We'll hopefully have the first trailer a little later today, so stay tuned.

Update: Trailer time!

Bryn says: Not too much to go on other than it's being developed by a European outfit and not the usual Japanese arm of Konami. Is that a good sign? Generally, 3D Castlevania titles have paled compared to their 2D brethren.

Still Patrick Stewart's voice is a total bonus. Here's hoping it turns out to be a good 'un.
